Train from Bayonne to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

[berkeley180]

Advice please. I want to catch a train from Bayonne to St Jean on a Saturday (30/08/2014) for myself and two friends with our bicycles. Talking to Voyage-sncf in London, I have got two different stories. The first story is only coaches make this trip with no space for bicycles and the second story is local trains do run but it is first come first served on transport the bicycles. I would welcome anyone's input. Thanks in anticipation.

Due to a landslide the trains are not running at least until October. Buses provided by the railroad and leaving from the Bayonne railroad station are being substituted for the trains. They leave at the same time as the trains were scheduled and cost the same.

Drat but thank you for your input. I assume the buses cannot carry bicycles unless they are packed into boxes.

That is what I understand also. Have you considered biking down from Bayonne to SJPdP?

There is a private hire taxi called Express Bourricot based in SJPdP. Apparently they will carry bicycles.

Lizbill,

Currently there is a train/bus combo leaving Bayonne rr station for SJPdP. Click this link to see the times. You buy the one ticket for the combo in the Bayonne rr station. Reserved seats are not available for these transports.

Bon voyage and Buen camino!
